No Hot Water? We'll Fix That.

Waking up to a cold shower is a rough way to start the day. At JB Plumbing HVAC, we understand that a broken hot water heater is an emergency. That's why we offer same-day service and can usually get to you fast. We repair all brands and types of water heaters, and if yours needs to be replaced, we can often have a new one installed the same day.

Water Heater Repair

Before we recommend replacing your hot water heater, we'll see if a repair makes sense. Common problems we fix include:

  • No hot water: could be a bad heating element, thermostat, or pilot light
  • Not enough hot water: sediment buildup, broken dip tube, or undersized tank
  • Water too hot: thermostat issue, usually an easy fix
  • Leaking tank: sometimes repairable, sometimes means it's time for a new one
  • Strange noises: popping or rumbling usually means sediment buildup
  • Rusty water: corroded anode rod or aging tank

Water Heater Replacement

If your hot water heater is 10+ years old or the tank is leaking, replacement is usually the smarter move. Here's what you need to know:

  • Cost: a new hot water heater typically runs $2,000 to $2,500 installed
  • $50 OFF: we're currently offering $50 off water heater installation
  • Financing: 0% for 60 months through Synchrony
  • Same-day installation: in most cases, we can install your new water heater the same day

Tank vs. Tankless Water Heaters

Tank Water Heaters

The traditional option most homes have. They store 40-50 gallons of hot water and keep it ready. They're affordable, reliable, and easy to maintain. Most of our installations are tank-style water heaters.

Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless units heat water on demand, you never run out. They're more expensive upfront but use less energy since they're not keeping a tank of water hot 24/7. They're a great option if you have a bigger family or want to save on energy bills long-term.

Not sure which is right for you? We'll help you decide based on your household size, hot water usage, and budget.
